The Cure : Heal your body, save your life

This book was recommended to read by Diamond Norliza during our last few meetings at her house. The Cure was written by Dr Timothy Brantley, who was inspired by the poor results of western medications towards the illness of his parents. His mom suffered many years with breast cancer before she passed away when he felt relieved with her death, as his mom once told him, "No one should suffer like this". I personally haven't got the book for myself but I found some words from the book that could give us the idea why we should seek for the alternative.

Taken from the last chapter of The Cure…

Imagine living in a healthy and vibrant body, feeling great every day of your life. What if I told you this is not a fantasy? The truth is that you already live in a body designed for balance and optimal health.

Your body knows only one thing for sure – how to balance, heal and restore itself – if you allow it to do so. Balance equals optimal health, and the body was designed to constant return to balance and health because diseases cannot live in a healthy body.

Few basic points highlighted by Dr Timothy includes :

• Follow the rules and laws of Creation – the only real authority ; Solat & du'a for the muslims.
  
• Live according to Creation and remember that prevention is the key ; Start now.
  
• Always keep the idea of balance in the forefront of your mind ; Be moderate in life.
  
• Understand what you have learned and why it works
  
• Ask questions when you don't understand, and don't stop until you get an answer ; Be curious. After all, it's about your own body.
  
• Take responsibility for your actions and what you put in your mouth ; You are what you eat, breath and do.
  
• Don't wait until you're in trouble to take action ; Prevention is everything.
  
• You are your best health insurance policy ; Enough said.

Toothpaste : Real facts

Did you know?

• Our pipe contains only LESS THAN ONE part per million of flouride.
• Flouride : Most normal adult toothpastes contain about 1500 parts per million of flouride. Flouride is a poison used to kill rats and insects. Excessive flouride ingestion causes dental fluorosis, affects our brain, bones and other organs.
• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) : Adult toothpaste also contains SLS (also available in most commercial shampoos, body shower and other cleansing products), a detergent and a foam booster. It can cause canker sores (mouth ulcers) as it dries out the protective mucus lining in the mouth.
• Sodium Saccharin : Adult toothpaste also contains Sodium Saccharin. Saccharin is an artificial sweetener synthesized from coal tar. It causes bladder cancer in male rats.

Now hear this.

• Nano-Ganoderma Lucidum : Triterpenoids in Ganoderma are capable of subduing the production of glucan by Strettococcus Mutans, hence contributing to preventing dental plaque and tooth decay. On the other hand, it also contains polysaccharides which are notable in enhancing blood circulation in the gum tissues, apart from revitalizing the tissues of mucus membrane in the mouth cavity.
• Aloe Barbadensis : As Aloe has an exceptional ability in repairing the outer skin of the gums, exterminating bacteria, and preventing the formation of dental calculus (tartar), it is remarkable in maintaining the hygienic condition of the mouth cavity.
• Xylitol : Featuring a low caloric content and a refreshing flavour, Xylitol does not readily become fermented in the presence of micro-organism to produce acidic substances. With its amazing capability in subduing the proliferation of Streptococcus Mutatis, it makes an ideal ingredient for effective prevention of tooth decay.
• Chlorophyllin : It helps prevent gum bleeding and bad breath. It is also capable of breaking down the food debris stuck in the crevices between adjacent teeth to help restore the hygienic condition of the mouth cavity and relieve sensitive gums.
• Natural Gel : A natural translucent gel is incorporated to effectively reduce friction and avoid damage done to the enamel during brushing.
• Foaming Agent : The foaming agent used is extracted from coconut and corn. Natural in origin, mild in action, safe for consumption, and does not produce any toxic, it plays a remarkable rolde in subduing bacteria and preventing tooth decay.
• Natural menthol or peppermint is added to keep the mouth cavity fresh without introducing any irritation, making it a perfect choice for all your family members, young and old alike.

A hope

Hope. That's all we're able to give. We can never guarantee anything, nor can we decide for others. All we do is advice, share and educate, and the decision is up to them. The result is up to the Almighty.

This will be the 5th year I'm involved with Shuang Hor. Why am I still here? Simply because the hope that I can give to others when they think they have none. When they do not know what to do while they're down, we provide solutions. When they are sick and not able to get up, we help to make them feel better and stronger. So why not Shuang Hor?

I am not against the doctors. According to Merriam Webster, one of the definitions of a doctor is a person skilled or specializing in healing arts, especially one who holds an advanced degree and is licensed to practice. Another definition says that a doctor is a person who restores, repairs or fine-tunes things. Well, to me, a doctor is a person with all the knowledge about human's body functions and has a high understanding of drugs to be / not to be used by human (or for animals - Vet). Yes, they have the 'license' to prescribe you with drugs and give advice based on the diagnosis / tests done on your body. But in the end of the day, I always believe that the best doctor in the whole wide world (WWW-not world wide web) is our own body. This is because, based on the definition given by Merriam Webster itself, our body is able to restore, repair and finetune itself - provided that we have a good immune system. And how do we have that? Of course, by having a good digestive system, as well as other main body systems - nervous, metabolism, respiratory and circulatory system.

I've been attending weekly health meetings and seminars conducted by Shuang Hor for about 2 years now. And of course, there are still new things to be learnt everyday. Our body is 'constructed' beautifully that no other machine could ever match. Not even close. The organs are actually irreplaceable, so take care of your kidneys, liver, tonsils and even your appendix! They are in your body for a bloody good reason!

So what happen if our kidneys are not working as they are supposed to? What should we do if our tonsils are swollen? Well, if you are experiencing any discomforts in your body, it shows that your body is sending you a signal / alarm that parts of your body is sick. The solution is not to remove the alarm, but to attend the problem areas. The best thing to do is strengthen your immune system and your whole body will work cohesively to fight any infections / irregulars happening.

Why are we so concern about your health?

Have you heard of a 12-year-old girl, got her uterus taken out? It started with bad period cramps. But I wonder, how many menstrual cycles have this 12-year-old girl gone through, to make the doctor suggested hysterectomy? And what's more, didn't the parents know what are the consequences and how's the future of this girl would be after this? Lack of education & knowledge? Maybe. That's why we try to reach as many people as possible to educate how we have the full rights to our own body. Any suggestions / recommendations from the doctors should be analyzed, and not to accept them 100% without any research or 2nd opinions.

That's one of the many cases with shocking organs-removal done by human, towards another human being.

This remind me of a hadith : Rasulullah SAW telah bersabda yang bermaksud, "Bahawa Allah telah menurunkan penyakit dan ubat dan dijadikan kepada setiap penyakit ada ubatnya. Berubatlah, tetapi jangan berubat dengan benda-benda yang haram". Wallahualam.

Shiatsu - Brain ( top part)

Shiatsu or acupressure is a type of massage, origin from Japan. We are lucky that in our network, all of us got to learn the basic of Shiatsu that can easily be practiced and useful whenever we meet anyone, anywhere. The method includes tapping and rolling of a stick on parts of our body.

From the previous entry, the picha shows that red lumps appear on both thumbs of MsPmp's. A stick was rolled at the affected area and after a while, the lumps were obvious. Even though the same technique was used on both thumbs, they showed different results. Just a quick history background; MsPmp has been suffering from migraine since she was still in secondary school. The point where the red lumps appeared is one of our brain points - in this case, it's the top part of the brain. The left thumb showed a darker red lump, means the right side of the brain (top part) has a blockage, probably with blood clots. The right thumb also showed a red lump, only lighter, means the left side of the brain (top part) is also blocked with clots, but not as bad as the other side.

If you think it is a must to have red lumps after you rolled a stick on your fingers, you are absolutely wrong. This is because, right after MsPmp was being Shiatsu-ed, she rolled the same stick with the exact same technique on my fingers, and guess what, there were no red lumps appeared. Of course, I did not have the same health problem as her, so my reactions were not similar to hers.

So why Shiatsu? Yes, it might look scary to have red spots / bruises everywhere in your body after, but it's a way to make you feel better. After Shiatsu-ing / massaging, any blockages of clots / gas should be able to flow smoothly but remember, massaging is just a temporary solutions. After knowing the problem points in your body by Shiatsu, act now! Eat the right food, exercise and of course, live healthy!
